Default 1991 Removing bed bolts Removing bed bolts

Removing the bed of my 1991 ranger, the four bolts nearest to the back came off no trouble, but the two remaining that are the closest to the front are not coming out. They're spinning freely but just won't come up.

Seems to me, to get someone underneath, to push the screws with something solid and that would help them screw themselves out.

You will probably have to cut them and replace them.

Perhaps applying a prybar from underneath to apply pressure to the speed nut, to hold it fast & prevent it from free-spinning while you unscrew it?
